    Loved red lobster 🦞 it was super busy on Friday Valentine's Day but people were trying to get a table just walking in. OpenTable really saved the day and we were seated within 10 minutes. The appetizers and drinks came out quick, but the soup was a little cold by the time the feast came out much later, I wish we knew so we could have gotten the soup while hot! T My picture keeps falling to o upland So I keep getting new edits this is my fourth try, fifth try no photo this time so I stop getting reminders. It won't let me upload a review without a picture?

    The lawry cut was so good, like a thanksgiving dinner, had to take home the rest! Loved the shrimp/jalapeno/corn fritters! If you have a chance to go the their bar at the front, I enjoyed the mango rum drink (more on the fruity side and didn’t taste the rum) Went for galentine’s day and was a nice meal to splurge on! The waiters were so nice and accommodating!

    Octopus: delicious. No complaints. Perhaps I was hoping for a bigger portion but good regardless. The squid ink pasta: interestingly flavored a little spicy. Not very strong in tomato flavor as I would expect. Tasted more like the north western cuisine of china. Duck confit: so creamy, buttery and tender. Must try. Outside patio is very cute and romantic. The establishment is smaller than I expected but very cute. Service: on time and caring.
